Gun Owner Loses 2nd Amendment Case

A woman who challenged San Francisco’s gun laws as unconstitutional failed to persuade a federal judge that the rules burdened her ability to protect herself and her family.

Therese Marie Pizzo sued The City and County of San Francisco, Mayor Edwin Lee, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, Police Chief Greg Suhr, and California Attorney General Kamala Harris, challenging a variety of local and state gun laws.

Pizzo, a lesbian, said in her complaint that she has suffered harassment for her sexual orientation, and gun laws in San Francisco and California prevent her from having a gun to protect herself and her family.
